Halton Lea 'Love Your Balls' Awareness Day 2011

On Saturday 5th February, we ventured out to Halton Lea Shopping Centre in Runcorn to spread the word about how important it is to 'Love Your Balls!'

It was a fantastic day and we spent lots of time interacting with shoppers, talking about the signs and symptoms of Testicular Cancer, Mark's story and also a bit about The Mark Gorry Foundation!

We had lots of useful freebies to give away such as wallet cards showing the signs and symptoms, MGF branded balloons to keep the kids happy and leaflets and posters to be put up in places of work, staff rooms and toilets, reinforcing Mark's message. And let's not forget the fab MGF branded 'Love Hearts' sweets!

During the day, we also had our 'Big Ball Quiz' with a few questions on Testicular Cancer, the prize being a meal for 2 at the Village Hotel in Warrington. Thanks to The Village for their kind donation! Winners of the quiz will be announced on Sunday 13th February after our 2nd awareness event at Greenoaks Shopping Centre in Widnes next Saturday 12th February.

Thanks to everyone involved in the day and a huge Thank you to the staff of Halton Lea for helping us to get our first awareness event of our 2011 campaign - 'Love Your Balls' off to a flying start!

Love
The MGF Awareness Team
